Hi guys!

I wonderd if it is poseble to make a map that acceps commands from players over chat. I wnat to make a map whit AI's that understand commands given to them in team chat.

Excample:
I want the cosest AI out of my own team to follow me and in the chat I type \follow
Now I want the AI to follow me ofcourse.

I know it's a long shot but if this is posseble I would love to know how.

P.S.: I do not mean devmode or console mode I mean this to work like sapp only than not in the server but in the map.

There is no magical Scanner class available for Halo chat. You can't read the input. The only script commands concerning the chat text are only allowed to print things. This is, of course, assuming that you aren't using an external app. If you were to use an external application, I'm sure many wondrous things could be done, but AI following requires a specific setup beforehand. Thus, you couldn't use it unless the map was set up beforehand for AI following.

ok i expected it wouldn't be posseble but I tought let's give it a try ^^. Thanks


Edit:
Just for sure again, let's at a what if senario ^^

What if I make the server read the commands like sapp does. Using a program like sapp to read the commands out. Would this allow to give the map ANY orders back? It doesn't have to contol AI's but that would be best for me.
